YEREVAN
YEREVAN, August 18. /ARKA/. Armenia should secure its multi-component
defence system, Stepan Grigoryan, the head of the Analysis Center
for Globalization and Regional Cooperation, said on Wednesday.
He told journalists that now several components, such as the alliance
with Russia, membership in the Collective Security Treaty Organization
as well as cooperation with NATO and the United States, ensure security
for Armenia.
"We can't tie our security only to the CSTO," Grigoryan said though
adding that thanks to its membership in this organization Armenia
can buy ammunition at preferential prices.
The political analyst also said that one provision in the CSTO charter
states that assaults on any member of the organization are viewed as
aggression against other members.
Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and
Uzbekistan are members of the CSTO.
The organization was established in May 1992.
